David Letterman is returning to TV for a new series on Netflix!

David Letterman is returning to television in 2018, but the real question: Is the beard coming, too?

Late night legend, David Letterman, is coming back to television next year with a new series on Netflix. The new series, set to debut in 2018, will include six hour-long episodes that have in-depth interviews and segments that get him into the world at large.

In a statement about the new project, Letterman said, “I feel excited and lucky to be working on this project for Netflix. Here’s what I have learned, if you retire to spend more time with your family, check with your family first. Thanks for watching, drive safely.”

The series is yet to be named, but it’s already sent the Internet abuzz with excitement.

But all of the excitement has some wondering the fate of his creepy Santa beard.

Letterman famously told Vanity Fair, “I had to shave every day, every day, for 33 years. And even before that when I was working on local TV. And I just thought, the first thing I will do when I am not on TV is stop shaving.”
